Swivel Sweeper boasts that it’s “the most advanced sweeper in the world.” Well Anthony Sullivan always makes those kind of claims… This cordless sweeper has been around forever! We had one as a kid but it was only a manual powered one and it worked just fine for everyday use. The major difference with the newer version is that this ones rechargeable. There’s no suction…the brushes actually do all the cleanup.

Three parts make up the Swivel Sweeper. The main sweeper, the handle, the charger unit and battery. The instructions are mostly about assembly. A long drawn out read that should hold your interest for about…what was I saying? Anyway, the one thing you do get from them is the importance of the battery. An 8 hour charge gets you 45 minutes of sweeping bliss.

Advantages

• Swivels into hard to reach edges and corners and picks up dirt from all sides.
• Cordless so you can take it anywhere in the house.
• The little tray is easy to detach and re-attach.
• Only weighs 2lbs so its nice for everyday use and it’s small size is easy to store.
• The brushes along the shorter edges work really well to get at debris trapped along the baseboards and walls.
• It works equally as well on shorter pile carpet and on floors. It also maneuvers and cleans stairs really well.
• It picks up soil, coffee, food, chips and even heavier items like nuts and bolts - Basically anything that can fit under the brushes.
• You can pick it up at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Disadvantages

• While cleaning, the brush head has a tendency to spit stuff back out unless the tray is completely empty.
• It doesn’t work as well on carpet with more pile and may lock up.
• The little tray has to be emptied on a frequent basis.
• Hair, thread and fabric gets tangled in the rotor brushes and needs to be cleaned often.
• Only good for light cleaning jobs otherwise you end up continually emptying the tray.
• There are major issues with the battery although there are ways to prolong its life.
  Swivel Sweeper Battery Life
  1. When you first get your unit home, fully charge the battery for 8 hours and then unplug it.
  2. Let the battery completely run out before giving it a full charge again.
  3. The instructions mention not to leave the battery in the charger for longer than 24 hours. The best thing to do would be to charge it for 8 hrs only and then unplug it to retain your batteries memory.
  4. Keep the battery out of the machine while you store it. It may seem like a lot of hassle but it might make your life easier in the long run to have the battery working longer and more efficiently.
